That the revised Dedication and Use of Municipal Reserve, Environmental Reserve, and Environment Reserve Easement Policy C-PD15 be received as information.

Body
Purpose
Dedication and Use of Municipal Reserve, Environmental Reserve and Environmental Reserve Easement Policy C-PD15 (formerly Dedication of Municipal Reserve Policy C-PD15) is to provide direction to applicants subdividing land in Parkland County, and the requirements for dedication of Municipal Reserve (MR), Environmental Reserve (ER), or Environmental Reserve Easement (ERE).

3. Procedure C-PD15-P3 - Use of MR, ER and ERE (new procedure).
